Welcome to the podcast of ALPS, the conference that wants to make us aware of psychedelic science and its effects on the psyche. A whole program held in Geneva for 2023, with many speakers from Switzerland, Europe and all over the world.

In this episode, syde & WarcoBrienza welcome Rick Doblin, founder and executive director of the Multidisciplinary Association for Psychedelic Studies (MAPS). A ‘godfather’ of psychedelics - as syde would name him - since 1985.

In the podcast, we discuss with Rick Doblin and Federico Seragnoli, cofounder of the ALPS conference, the results of 2 MAPS-sponsored, philanthropy-funded Phase 3 clinical trials of MDMA-assisted therapy for Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD).

As MAPS approaches a decision by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) regarding MDMA-assisted therapy for PTSD as soon as mid-2024, we explore the context of the MDMA prohibition that occurred in the 80’, as well as the possibility of a world of net-zero trauma by 2070.
